On this picture we can see two boys in traditional Inca clothing. The clothes are made from bright coloured material on both the head gear and the poncho which is placed at the torso area. Every piece of clothing that they had was bright coloured with red and blue colours.
It is a series of hollow sticks placed next to each others on a row which are tied together. The sticks are of different size so you will get different sound when blowing into them. they have clay ends so the air wont escape. The sound is made when the air travels down the tube, and back up again but meets resistance and goes from wall to wall and makes Vibrations in the sides. the longer the hollow sticks are the bigger the vibration gets, which makes a high or low pitch.
Inca art was not only the jewellery that they made from the gold and silver that they found, but was also pottery and of course paintings/symbols on their clothing with bright colours. There is not much left of the original pottery and clothes that they had, but some of the Spanish had taken with them some of the items they found when ruining the Inca society. There were often potteries of small people (the Incas were not high in height) and clothes as gifts. They were later copied by others.
These 2 pictures are clasical examples of pottery and statues that they made, and colourfull rugs made out of lama wool and other metarial.

This is a classic example of inca music, where the pan flute and various other instruments like the ukulele are played.
